67,000 of my constituents would receive a pay raise if we increased the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.

I hope this Subcommittee, the full Committee, and this Congress will turn its attention to what many of us would consider incredibly urgent priorities of the American people.

I look forward to hearing the testimony and trust we will be informed and led by the facts.

There is no reason to think whatsoever that workers and employers would expect anything from the NLRB in deciding these cases other than a thoughtful, considered application of established principles to the particular facts of the case.

The VA needs to go through a top-down look from an outside agency.

What happens this summer, in August, when I go home and I enter the August recess, and the veterans are not getting taken care of;

Are you saying today that if I have a veteran with a bad knee that needs to be replaced and it's not fixed in 90 days at the VA, that we can get that veteran out in the private sector?
